The extra-long all-opening-credits round of the Filmbrain Screen Capture Quiz is finally over! Regular contestant Max G. was the lone voice in the wind this week as he (somehow!) recognized the blue curtain and moon behind it from the opening of Francis Ford Coppola's One From the Heart, a desert-island movie if ever there was one. This is the film that drove Coppola into bankruptcy, and forced him to take on studio fare such as the truly awful Jack. But you know what? It was worth it. Rebuilding Vegas on a soundstage allowed DP Vittorio Storaro to do unbelievable things with lights. And then of course there are the songs by Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle....sheer bliss.
Congratulations to Max for getting a perfect score -- I'm thoroughly impressed. I'd also like to thank everybody else who participated in what turned out to be the most successful round yet!
